What Is The Reason For Not Having Bowel Movements Inspite Using Laxatives After Taking Muscle Relaxers?
I was tackled by someone at their full running speed and knocked down. I was given a muscle relaxer--Flexiril and Tramadol for pain. I have had no bowel movement since, despite using fiber laxative 2 days ago and Ducolax last night. I suffered with a herniated disc several years ago and the pain is just like it was then. This morning I could not make it to the bathroom before urine was running down my leg. Should I be concerned?

Tramadol will cause constipation, u need to take more dose of laxatives and dietary modifications like high fiber diet, 2 banana at night and plenty of oral fluids
